Rook bit harder into the meat of my shoulder.

“Fuck, yes!” I yelled.

The pain was an aphrodisiac to my system and more potent than any sex alone could give me. I thought for a long time that something was wrong with me for wanting this during sex, but I learned to embrace it and embrace myself. And now…Now, Rook liked to give exactly what I loved to take. My body ached in places it hadn’t from our first round, and I could already feel bruises forming. I was never looking at a book the same way again.

“Do you know what I would do to any of them if they touched you?” his blue eyes darkened. The air crackled like an electrical storm was all around us and bouncing off the walls. It made the hair on my body stand.

“Naw, but no one be dat stupid,” I said as he slid down my body. He reached my nipple, and I couldn’t help wiggling with the anticipation.

“They better not be, or I’ll kill them. Family or ally, I don’t care. If they even look at you in a way I don’t like, I’ll rip their fucking balls off. If anyone other than me or Elewyen touches you ever again, I will kill them,” Rook’s voice rumbled against my chest a moment before he bit down on my nipple.

I yelled and almost came from the intense pleasure that shot straight to my cock. My body bucked up as Rook applied enough pressure that I knew there would be marks when he was done.

“Fuck, Rook,” I groaned and slid my hands into his dark hair.

He kept me dancing along the cusp of pleasure and pain as his tongue swirled over the tip my sensitive nipple and made me gasp.

“Are you okay with me killing our allies, friends, and family?”

“Naw,” I managed to get out through clenched teeth as Rook moved over to my other nipple. I braced myself for what I knew was about to come.

“Then you’d better make it really fucking clear to everyone that you’re off the market. Do you understand?”

He bit down, and I couldn’t keep my hands to myself any longer. I needed to feel more of him. Running my fingers over his back and wide shoulders, I memorized all the dips and lines. The emptiness without him inside of me was an ache all on its own, and I pulled him as close as I could get him.

“Aye, I understand. They will all know.”

He lifted his head and stared at me, his eyes narrowed in a dark glare. “Were you tempted to join?”

I licked my lips, and the pause in my answer notched up Rook’s aggression. I could feel it bubbling under the surface of his skin.

“Aye, but only a moment ‘cause of bein’ worked up from leavin’ ya in da closet.”

“What would you do if I was tempted by someone outside of you and Elewyen?”

His voice was so lethal that I shivered.

“They would’na be breathin’ by mornin’,” I said and gripped his ass hard, loving that it flexed as he rubbed his cock along my abs.

A smirk lifted the corner of his mouth, and I couldn’t take waiting anymore.

“Please fuck me. Fuck me hard,” I begged.

Rook dropped his head to my chest, his tongue driving me wild. “Fuck Rook,” I groaned. I felt him smile wider against my skin.

“Beg again. I like hearing you beg for me.”

I licked my lips as we stared into each other’s eyes.

“Besides, you came home and were an asshole earlier. If you want my cock again, then beg for it.”

“Yer really gonna make me beg?”

Rook lifted himself higher, and some lingering fog drifted over my skin, leaving a cool trail, making me shiver.

“Yes, I really am.”

Begging was new for me. Most of the things that had happened since Rook arrived were completely new and had kept me off kilter. I briefly wondered what his response would be if I flipped him on his back and took what I wanted. Maybe I would try that another time. Right now, I could admit that I wanted this.
